I use Avast as my main protection, I have Ad-Aware/Watch SE plus that I also use quite regularly for scan and registry protection (although sometimes I'm not too sure what Ad-Watch wants me to accept/block, I'm not technical, more DIY kinda type), I use Anti-Spyware Blocker occasionaly and I recently got Spybot S&D and of course Hijackthis (I also have sophos thing, but something happened while I was instaling it, and my whole computer crashed, since, I don't think it is instaled, am not sure)
Ad-Watch is now asking me many things at every startup, and I notice one which, depending if I accept it or block it, will "infect" my computer (if I accept) and the whole story with the player, windows explorer crashing is back, here's the Ad-Watch log file about it:
Root: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
Value: STREAMl(*)P0 [(*)=(I'm not so sure this is the exact letter, but the closest looking one I could find)]
Data: rundll32.exe streamci, StreamingDeviceSetup {D84D449B-62FB-4ebb-B969-5183ED3DFB51},GLOBAL,{71985F4A-1CA1-11d3-9CC8-00C04F7971E0},C:\WINDOWS\...
aaaand that's all I can read on this line, coz it's the end of my screen and Ad-Watch is silly like that and won't let you scroll or anything (I can try and provide a snapshot of the screen, but all the datas are basicaly here)
New Data
Then, since I got highjackthis, I made two scans, one when I accept the file, the other when I block it, just to be sure, here's the result:
when blocking the entry-
